In this episode of Electronic Basics I will show you what make the popular 555 Timer IC tick and how we can use it in our circuits as a monostable, bistable and astable multivibrator in order to create delays or even PWM Signals.

The 555 has been my favorite classic IC for over 20 years. I really enjoyed this video and learned some new things about this awesome, long lived chip.
-
I've been using 555 with no idea why we connected it in such configurations .. when u got to the deeper level .. everything is clearer .. thanks boss

Your videos are amazing ! So much information, you're going straight to the point without any detours. The information is tightly packed and the whole subject is covered quickly and efficiently. If looking for one specific information, I can watch 4 or 5 videos in what feels like no time and I'm very likely to find what I'm looking for. As an other non native english speaker (i'm french) I am very happy to be able to use english as a way to communicate with somebody that eager to make the world a smarter place.

That intro exploring the internals of the 555 was amazing! Great work !
-
The 555 was my favorite chip to use in high school back in the 80s. Boy I feel old.
-
gotta love whenever I wanna do a project with a specific chip and cant grasp it you come in and clear it all up. keep up the great content!
-
Am I the only 1 watching and not understanding almost anything, but still likes the video anyway?
-
Your channel is top notch. Gives guidance to a beginner but have enough details if one wants a geeky deep dive.
-
Another great video, Great Scott! My advice is to keep up your high tempo, despite the complaints that you're going too fast. I'm a beginner, and you're "too quick" for me too, but that's good motivation to learn more so I can eventually keep up... and your videos are never boring! In all the language classes I've taken there is always a student who complains the teacher is speaking too quickly. One teacher responded "No. You're listening too slowly." That's right on the money!

Not like it .. love it. Been far too long since I've seen someone explain basic electronics so concisely and clearly amongst all the noisemakers. Here's a thumbs up from one professional to another.
-
I highly appreciate the fundamentals lesson. I'm still so new to hobby electronics, it is nice to see where people with more knowledge throw in diodes and other components.
